Nice shoot!Forming some brass. Things are starting g to look better. 10 shots, in 15* weather, with a 9 power, thick reticle Swfa. If I have to keep shooting this scope in the snow, I’m going to get rid of it. CA is obnoxious. Am I becoming a glass snob? View attachment 257785View attachment 257786
Bet it shoots I did a 300wm in a mesa stock, had to start shooting 5 shot groups developing a load for it, one of the least picky barrels I've owned, only downside is I want to do another one in 22creedJust got this one finished. 22" Proof Research pre-fit in 6.5 PRC. AG Alpine hunter stock. weight is 6.7 lbs. Can't wait to take this to the range and see how it shoots.

Good looking gun gary, hows that bottom metal working for you? I've been debating trying one for my 300wm but the way it shoots I just don't know if it's worth messing with it to be able to load longer, I'm getting less then half in groups consistently pushing a 200gr eld-x at 2994fps, but I do really dislike the plastic mags that are like $60 bucks a piece lol
The Tac-a1 is set up as a plug and play solution, so if you want to build a custom rifle around a tikka action then there are cheaper routes to go. Nothing wrong with the Taca1, if its what you want, 6.5 creedmoor is fine for shooting big game.Some beautiful Tikka’s
I’m just starting out on my build for a long range shooting for fun but I’d also like to hunt with. I’m strictly a Bowhunter now so this is new to me.
I’m a big fan of the Tikkas and thought i wanted the T3A TAC A1 rifle in a creedmoor 6.5 my I’m thinking a 308 would be better for big game.
Where should I start in list of importance on a custom Tikka?

Long Rifles Inc. fluted my bolt. I think it was 8 or 9 days from dropping it in the mail to having my bolt back. Very happy with the fluting and turnaround time.I’ve had a T3x chambered in 243 sitting around and decided to have a little fun with it.

T3 270 WSM 1/8 twist, throated for 165gr Matrix. Barreled action has been cerakoted in sage green to tone down the bling
LRI did their magic. Bolt is wrought iron and barrel is progressive twist. I was going to do the same pattern on the barrel as the bolt, but I really like the progressive twist and it saved more weightPlease share who did your barrel and bolt fluting bc that’s just sexy
Do you know if you can get that progressive pattern on the bolt bc I like the crap out of it and I’ve been thinking about sending my bolt to them.LRI did their magic.

It's a light palma contour and the fluting shed 6oz in chips. The barreled action is 1lbs heavier than stock setup
They wouldn't when I've asked, but give them a call regardlessDo you know if you can get that progressive pattern on the bolt bc I like the crap out of it and I’ve been thinking about sending my bolt to them.
